Chapter 10
No place like home
I'm in the woods again but I can hear a river and I don't feel alone, someone is circling me. "Edward" I cry out, I can hear laughing. I'm no longer wearing a wedding gown, I'm wearing all black, funeral black and can see a headstone in the distance I run towards it Its almost blank execpt the one word craved into it 'SWAN'. I look around I can hear footsteps or paws patting the ground behind the tall trees. "Edward, please I'm scared" Im looking in all directions I still cant see anything. I begin to cry, "Bells run" echoed through the trees, "who are you?" I screamed into the greenness. I turned to the headstone to see my family standing there all except Edward "Where's Edward?" I asked them, they stared blankly ahead. They couldn't see blinded somehow. I'm alone and I start to cry until someone puts their hand on my shoulder and turn hope full that its my hero and to be greeted air. "Who are you?" I screamed impatiently to my surroundings. The voice shouted back "Paris".
I woke up a little earlier than I wanted that intense dream had shocked me out of my slumber. I stared at my new views, It was my first day in a new town a town which held my past, the town of my birth and death of my parents. I was back in Forks Washington reason? Alaska wasn't my favourite place for one and my Mom though I was time to discover my heritage so just after my 16th birthday we moved back to a house fenced by trees and wildlife and a house my family lived in many many years ago. Today would be my first day at forks high, my past would surround me. My biological Dad was head of police in folks and my Biological Mom a teacher and in a town this small their memory still lives on. My family all lost their roots due age and now I was set to embrace mine.
My dreams have been getting more vivid and frightening since the decision to move here was made, they make me feel like there's something that I'm missing, something that I need and I can't find it. Edwards always in my dreams but he disappears and I'm searching the woods in others im with Edward in a wedding gown but always there's someone else who should be there but never shows his face just Say's to call him Paris. My head is so full of confusion and not really read to start school with some many people who would undoubtly been people I know should my life had taken another turn.
Downstairs in this immaculate glass house house are my waiting family, of course they would have heard me talk and possible scream in my sleep but didn't say anything to embarrass me. I walked into the kitchen to find my mother making breakfast and my father reading the paper, such a normal scene until my brother Emmet bombs into the kitchenwithhalf a tree attached to his arm due to a lost wrestling match with Jasper and his tantrum resulting in a broken tree in our garden. Jasper sensesmy sour mood and instead of influencing me to be relaxed he lets me get on with it. Alice and Rose are on a hunting trip due home shortly. Edward is most likely in his room reading or listening to the classics. Mine and Edwards relationship is very odd. We are extremely close and most definitely the best of friends but some daysthere seems to be something more between us, I mark this down to my infatuation with him. At 16 years old I know the difference between lust and love and I most certainly Love Edward, but to tell him or ask for this love back would cause complications and I leave it be. My dreams of him don't help.
Edwards pov:
The scenery again so similar, the town of Forks is without question my favourite place, so peacefuland relaxing and it were Bella came into my life all them years ago, so to be back here is divine. Since I found out about my future with Bella many things have tried to convinceme to run from her to save her from me and at first I did try and distracted myself, I become distant but none of this worked both Bella and I were in pain and longing for each others friendship, of course she had no idea of the reasons behind my actions and I doubt she knows now of my love for her. I gave in to my selfishness and when thetimes right I will claimher for my own, with which did surpriseme, my families full support behind me. Esme both a mother to me and Bella was over the moon when Alice explained the future to them, she was glad at last I would not be alone and glad her daughter had me. She could not wish for anything more.
I have many times felt like never letting Bella go but I will wait until the times right. Bella is back to her past and isn'tpleased, she'd much rather live in a shadow and not know who she is was or who she should of been. Her nightmares are getting worse and at night I watch her toss and turn and feel helpless. When she screamed its kills me inside, but when shes crying "Edward where are you" my heart explodes, shes dreaming of me leaving her.
I hear her wake and walk downstairs, my in my room listening to Clair De lune and mentally composing songs of my own. Emmet has just redecoratedour garden with one of his temper tantrums. Today It's the first day of school, again. It's something that no longer has any meaning to me starting again at a new school but the emotion waves flowing from Bella were stumping Jasper. I flew to the kitchen where Esme, Carlisle, Emmet and Bella were residing "Good morning sleepy head"Emmet though sarcastically as Esme removed the tree around his arm whilst mentally slating him "Stupid boy, he shouldn't play games if he can't stand losing, maybe I should ask Jasper to refuse his next challenge, but would they listen. Silly boys". Bella looked up at me from her breakfast and smiled. I so badly wish I could hear her mind! I need to hear her mind, what could she be thinking? I sat next to her, her scent burning my throat like it has done for so many years. "I just cant wait until.."Esme's thoughts caught me of guard and I didn't know what to say. I smiled at her as she walked out of the room and kissed Bella's forehead as she passed, closely followed by Emmet and Carlisle. Very subtle, Bella watched them leaving and turned to me "What I miss?" I laughed and shrugged my shoulders."
"Good nights sleep?"
She moaned "You probably know better than me, Mr. I can hear everything" was she mocking me?
"That don't mean I was listening though" I was, I really want to ask her who's Paris?
She looked up at me from those thick eyelashes and smiled. "I better get ready, not all of us has all night to perfect their hair" Teasing me now? Oh my chest ached to beat.
I watched as she left and Alice waltz in to sit in Bella's vacatedseat, her eyes were distant and she was future gazing but her face looked, annoyed. I was watching her visions but they weren't visions they were blurred and fuzzy, at first it was Bella with what I assume is new friends and then she disappears? Alice looked at me pained. What did this mean? I would not let Bella out of my sight until Alice could see her future clearly. I must not let anything happen to her, I must not panic. Yet.
